The Institute of Medicine recommends this level should be higher than 20 ng/mL. A vitamin D supplement may be required to raise 25-Hydroxyvitamin D to healthy levels. Research findings show a 25 (OH) D blood level above 20 ng/mL is related to better health. A vitamin D3 supplement may be especially helpful for anyone who avoids exposing skin to sunshine.
